The Buffet Bellagio Restaurant Review

: Located near the “O” Theater in one of the Strip's most opulent hotels, The Buffet boasts a spacious and cheerful ambience with lots of brass and glass, enhanced by red, white and blush wines, and a large selection of beers. About 4,000 people eat here daily, piling their plates with everything from boiled shrimp and Scottish smoked salmon to salad bar selections such as couscous and crab legs. There’s good thin-crusted pizzas out of a wood-burning oven, Asian stir-fry and, we're happy to report, freshly baked breads. The Friday and Saturday dinner buffets are promoted as “gourmet,” with the addition of carved-to-order beef Wellington with béarnaise sauce and Kobe-style beef, as well as caviars served alone or atop house-made blinis, miniature buckwheat waffles, freshly rolled sushi and ahi cones. Among appealing desserts are fruit tarts, crème brûlée and brownies. An unlimited drink option is $12.99 for margaritas, Bloody Marys, sparkling wine or beer. The lavish weekend Champagne brunch is presented from 7 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Breakfast $19.99, Lunch $23.99, Dinner $34.99 (Fri.-Sun. $39.99), Brunch $29.99 (with Champagne $42.99), no charge for children up to age 3.
